This is pretty cool. More than a bridge it is an ActivityPub server for RSS feeds, which is much more work than mere bridge. If your goal is only to create a post for every entry in the RSS feed and you don't mind piggybacking on an existing ActivityPub server (i.e. the hard part) you can get away with bridging the content in much less code. I have a YouTube to Mastodon bot that is basically two small programs running on a schedule. One to fetch the RSS feed and store the entries on an SQLite and another to post them to Mastodon and record the fact that it was posted.
